Hello.

Just saying 'hello'. I also stumbled upon this site looking for info on the new Z. I've owned an N/A Z32 in the past, so not completely new to the world.

I currently drive a 2005 WRX STi (yea yea, you either LOVE it or HATE it). I'm an avid Auto-Xer and Track go-er and have driven my STi as it should. It's mildly modded - Pro-Tuned Stg-II (Dyno'ed @ 309hp and 330ft/lbs), Double adjustable Coilovers, sways, camber plates, etc. Mostly suspension stuff, I'm more about turning fast.

With 50k miles on the ODO, and the way I've raced my STi from pretty much day one, I figure I'd better get rid of it in about a year. So thats how I've found myself here....

THIS year, I'm getting a daily driver beater. Doing one more season of serious Auto-X with the parts I've invested in my STi, then I figure its time to find a new ride. So it'll probably be 2010 when I get one.

I previously passed on the Z33 for the STi. For me, something about the look wasn't quite right (not that I thought STi was by any means 'pretty'), but that combined with the fact that I felt it was a touch down on power, and I needed a car to get around the snow here in winter helped make my decision.

So far, I love the new look of the 09 Z, added that touch of power I was looking for, and I no longer need a winter driver. The price on the Z looks about right, can't wait till I cant test one out and we know more.
